Yasss queens! The beauty bible of 2015 has arrived. SIMPLY GLAMOROUS from celebrity makeup artist Gary Cockerill (St. Martin’s Press; October 2015) boasts an impressive number of practical make-up tutorials for women of every age, shape and color.

Gary is one of the UK’s most successful celebrity make-up artists with a repertoire of work spanning stage and screen, editorial, events and advertising. Much sought after for his super-sexy, glamorous make-up style, Gary has an extensive client list that includes Eva Longoria, Isla Fisher and David Beckham, to name a few. His philosophy—“external beauty promotes inner confidence”—means that he strives to make every client look and feel amazing.

With his friendly, down-to-earth approach, Gary demystifies make-up and reveals the best products and application techniques to make anyone red-carpet ready. By applying four different looks to one face, he shows how the same “blank canvas” can be natural, sophisticated, glamorous and dramatic.

The book is filled with large, high-definition photographs, step-by-step instructions and insider make-up techniques that only a professional of Gary’s caliber could provide. The quality of information packed into SIMPLY GLAMOROUS stands out in a world of incessant YouTube beauty tutorials. I’m happy I was able to preview a copy of this amazing book.
